WA Small Business Day | Saturday 28 October 2017

Written on the 24 October 2017

On Saturday 28 October, small businesses throughout Western Australia will receive the recognition they deserve and exemplify how significant their contribution is to the WA economy.

WA Small Business Day celebrates the thousands of small business operators and entrepreneurs, who have the courage and dedication to supply diverse products, employ local staff and contribute greatly to the social fabric of our society.

Small Business Matters is an initiative developed for the greater good of the small business sector; a movement not owned by anyone but rather owned by everyone!

WA Small Business Day has been created to:

·           INCREASE THE PROFILE AND AWARENESS of the small business sector in WA.  

·           CELEBRATE AND RECOGNISE the contribution that small business makes to WA.

·           ENCOURAGE CONSUMERS to make a conscious decision to THINK SMALL FIRST and support small business enterprise.

In 2017, WA Small Business Day welcomes again our Premium Supporting Partner, Bankwest. Through this partnership and your assistance, we aim to create more awareness and action around such an important sector of our community.

·         Download marketing resources via the Small Business Matters website (Download the kit here), with customisable materials to add their logo.
·         Run an event in the lead up to or on Sat 28 October.
·         Add a logo/picture to the Small Business Matters website, Facebook page or share it with us on Instagram.
